| ITEM 1.01 | ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT |
On June 30, 2010, Jackson Hewitt Inc. (“JHI”), a subsidiary of Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Program Agreement Amendment”) to the Program Agreement, dated September 19, 2007 (the “Republic Program Agreement”) with Republic Bank & Trust Company (“Republic”), as subsequently amended by the parties on December 2, 2008, November 23, 2009 and December 29, 2009. The Fourth Program Agreement Amendment extends the date by which Republic, at its option, may terminate the Republic Program Agreement from June 30, 2010 until September 30, 2010. Republic requested this amendment in light of the fact that no decision or guidance has yet been provided by the Internal Revenue Service working group with respect to any required changes in the provision of refund settlement products for the upcoming tax season.
Republic and Jackson Hewitt Technology Services LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, are also parties to the Technology Services Agreement, dated September 19, 2007, as subsequently amended.
A copy of the Fourth Program Agreement Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The description of the Fourth Program Agreement Amendment contained in this Item 1.01 is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Program Agreement Amendment.
The Republic Program Agreement is described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 20, 2007, the First Amendment to the Republic Program Agreement is described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 2, 2008, the Second Amendment to the Republic Program Agreement is described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 24, 2009, the Third Amendment to the Republic Program Agreement is described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 30, 2009, and all such descriptions are hereby incorporated by reference.
